SPRINKLER NOZZLE.

Application filed May 2,

To all whom t 'may concer-nf Be it' known that HUGH Panfrninon, citizen of the United Sta-tes, residing at Jacksonville, in thel county of Duval and State of Florida, has invented certain new and. useful Improvements in Sprinkler Nozzles, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.-

The 4invention relates to sprinkler nozzles of the type used sin connection with garden hose and has for its object to provide a device of this character wherein spaced thrust rings are used for supporting a cylindrical member rotatablyV mounted on the main body of the nozzle thereby preventing the necessity of using lubricant. Also to provide the nia-in body of the nozzle with a flanged hood, which entirely houses the bearing adjacent the discharge end of the nozzle, thereby preventing water from entering the bearings as it is spread by the spreader plate. lilith the above and other objects in view the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter se-t forth, shown in the drawings, described and claimed, lit being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention may be made within the scope of what is o claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention. Y

In the drawings Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view Vthrough the nozzle. Y Y Y Y y Figure 2 is a side elevation of the nozzle.

Figure 3 is a horizontal sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Figure l.

Referring to the drawing, theV numeral l designates a cylindrical spraying nozzle, the upper end ofwliich terminates in a tapered discharge end 2 which discharges water against the spreader plate 3 in such a man@ ner that said spreader plate is revolved. The lower end of the nozzle 1 is provided with an integralnut receiving flange 4 and a hose attaching threaded portion 5, whereby the nozzle may be easily attachedto a conventional form Vof garden hose, Surrounding the nozzle l is a sleeve 6 which is spaced from the nozzle 'and has secured 1922. Serial No. 558,325.

thereto by brazing at 7 -bearingrrings 8 and. 9, said bearing rings having-a sliding en-V gagement vwith the nozzle l Ywhereby the Y Ysleeve 6 may easily rotate whenthe spreader `plate is rotated during-a spraying operation, said spreader plate being' preferably welded at 10 to opposite sides of the sleeve 6. `It

has been found that where balli bearings l and the like are used that they corrode easily and Vconsecpiently the device is rendered vin-VV operative even if oiled. The bearing rings l SV and 9 do not require lubricant, and 'water is excluded therefrom byineans of the outw-ardly extending annularr-fiangell', which is preferably brazed tothe nozzle l Vat l2,

and terminates in an Vannular downwardly extending liangel, winch engages over the upper end of the sleeveV 6, therefore it willl be seen that water will be prevented from entering the bearing and .that said bearings will not needlubricant. To pre-vent longi# tudinal binding of the sleeve 6, the nozzle l is provided with athrust flange 14 which j engages the upper side of the bearing ring 8.Y

The invention havingbeen set forth what is claimed as new and useful is 1. A spilinkler nozzle comprising a. cylin; drical body, Yspaced flanges carried by said cylindrical body, a sleeve surrounding the` cylindrical body and having. its ends ter-y minating adjacent the spaced flanges, bearing rings disposed within the sleeveV adj acent its ends and carried thereby, one of said space-d flanges being provided with an annular flange loverlying the end of the sleeve, a spreader plate carried by said sleeve and arching the end of the cylindrical body, .an inwardly extending annularflange Vcarried by the sleeve andA overlying theV inner end of one of the bearing rings.

2. A sprinkler nozzle comprising a cylindrcal body, a rotative sleeve surrounding 'Y bearing rngscmred by the sleeve adjacent a thrust ring carried by the sleeve and'extendung mwardly and overlymg the mner end of one of the bearlng rmgs.

said cylindrical body and spaced therefrom,

1.0 its ends and between the sleeve and the oylndrcal body, a, hood Carried by the cylindrical'body and arching one eind of the sleeve7 a spreader plat-e carried by said sleeve,
